Contact us

The team at Q Psychology provides high quality, best-practice mental health support to clients and the community. We have clinics in St Kilda, Carlton, and Geelong.

Q Psychology supports a diverse range of clients. We are leaders in LGBTQIAP+ affirming and neuro affirming mental health care. We support clients to address various difficulties including depression, anxiety, stress- and adjustment-related issues, trauma and PTSD, sexuality, gender dysphoria and gender incongruence, addiction issues, phobias, issues of low self-esteem/self-worth, relationship issues, personality disorders, and many others. We also provide support for psychological differences such as autism and ADHD.

Our purpose

Together, we aim to create a safe space to positively impact mental health for individuals and communities.

Our values

Community

We acknowledge and respect the importance of our work with, and connection to, various communities (particularly the LGBTQIAP+ community). We will strive to understand the specific contexts and experiences of the communities we support.

We will work to improve their mental health, and their lives, both at an individual level and at a community level. We will work to empower, and advocate for, disadvantaged communities. Internally, we will always strive to build a community, family, and connected culture within our team.

Trail Blazers

We will be loud leaders in the mental health space. We will be brave and courageous in our work and we will do the right thing regardless of fear.

We will be at the forefront of developments in mental health and therapy. We will use our work in mental health to make positive change in the world.

Beyond the couch

We will seek out opportunities to empower and support clients beyond the norm of therapy. We recognise that therapists and clients have a core commonality: humanity. It is this humanity that will drive our work. We will be authentic and compassionate in our approaches and innovative, creative, dynamic, and adaptive in our work.

“Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul” –Carl Jung.
